thank you all for replying.

akshay,
it didn't go unnoticed that the issue was likely pointing to the execution of dmidecode. i had already disabled selinux and even tried executing /usr/sbin/dmidecode with no luck. it didn't occur to me the command was being executed by apache and not root. so that's the issue, since dmidecode requires access to /dev/mem. so now i need to find a secure way for the apache user to execute dmidecode. or perhaps using sudo. not being a web admin or a php expert i'll have to dig in a little deeper. i suppose the short answer would be to "chmod 4755 /usr/sbin/dmidecode".

thanks.

NAME
biosdecode - BIOS information decoder SYNOPSIS
biosdecode [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
biosdecode parses the BIOS memory and prints information about all structures (or entry points) it knows of. Currently known entry point types are: o SMBIOS (System Management BIOS) Use dmidecode for a more detailed output. o DMI (Desktop Management Interface, a legacy version of SMBIOS) Use dmidecode for a more detailed output. o SYSID o PNP (Plug and Play) o ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) o BIOS32 (BIOS32 Service Directory) o PIR (PCI IRQ Routing) o 32OS (BIOS32 Extension, Compaq-specific) See ownership for a Compaq ownership tag retrieval tool. o SNY (Sony-specific, not decoded) o VPD (Vital Product Data, IBM-specific) Use vpddecode for a more detailed output. o FJKEYINF (Application Panel, Fujitsu-specific) biosdecode started its life as a part of dmidecode but as more entry point types were added, if was moved to a different program. OPTIONS
-d, --dev-mem FILE Read memory from device FILE (default: /dev/mem) -h, --help Display usage information and exit -V, --version Display the version and exit FILES
/dev/mem BUGS
Most of the time, biosdecode prints too much information (you don't really care about addresses) or not enough (because it doesn't follow pointers and has no lookup tables). AUTHORS
